Summary/Abstract: What interests the author is the value of the ethical attitude of man towards his environment. This problem became extremely important especially at the end of the 20th century. According to the author, the way to approach this problem has some disadvantages. The care of nature does not always follow the reflection on the meaning of the presence of man in his environment in accordance with his human vocation. These are the purely pragmatic reasons that most often motivate the protection of the environment. A good solution of the ecological problems according to the author depends on the development of ethos and ecoethics objectified cultured.
